Translating the timing of brain developmental events across mammalian species using suitable models has provided unprecedented insights into neural development and evolution. More importantly, these models can prove to be useful abstractions and predict unknown events across species from known empirical event timing data retrieved from published literature. Such predictions can be especially us...

Attacks on cryptosystem implementations (e.g. security fault injection, timing analysis and differential power analysis) are amongst the most exciting developments in cryptanalysis of the past decade. Altering the internal state of a cryptosystem or profiling the system’s computational dynamics can be used to gain a huge amount of information. This paper shows how fault injection and timing ana...

In this paper, we present a new method for verifying the realizability of a timing diagram with linear timing constraints, thus ensuring that the implementation of the underlying interface is feasible. The method is based on the consistency of the timing constraints derived from the timing diagram and accepts unknown occurrence times for events produced by the environment.

This work introduces capacity limits for molecular timing (MT) channels, where information is modulated on the release timing of small information particles, and decoded from the time of arrival at the receiver. It is shown that the random time of arrival can be represented as an additive noise channel, and for the diffusion-based MT (DBMT) channel this noise is distributed according to the Lév...

The timing of pedal depressions and releases was measured relative to key depressions and releases in two pianists' performances of Robert Schumann's "Traumerei" on an electronic instrument. Each pianist provided 9 complete performances, 3 at each of 3 tempi, which were analyzed by examining in detail those positions in the music in which the pedal was used consistently. The principal questions...

Timing of Geminga gamma-ray pulsar is done using data of COS B and EGRET. It is shown, that errors in angular coordinates of sources similar to Geminga strongly influence a determination of ν̈, so that at angular precision less then 10 arc sec determination of the value of ν̈ by means of criterion gives error more then 100%. Attempt have been done to improve coordinates of a gamma-ray pulsar usin...

The study follows up on the contention that self-controlled feedback schedules benefit learning because they are more tailored to the performers' needs than externally controlled feedback schedules (Chiviacowsky & Wulf, 2002). Under this assumption, one would expect learning advantages for individuals who decide whether they want to receive feedback after a trial rather than before a trial. Par...

Post-silicon tuning is attracting a lot of attention for coping with increasing process variation. However, its tuning cost via testing is still a crucial problem. In this paper, we propose tuning-friendly body bias clustering with multiple bias voltages. The proposed method provides a small set of compensation levels so that the speed and leakage current vary monotonically according to the lev...
